Description
Hyperbolic Functions is a comprehensive single-volume compilation that explores the relationship between hyperbolic and trigonometric functions, and the geometric properties of the hyperbola. The book presents the development of hyperbolic functions alongside those of trigonometric functions in parallel columns for comparison. A concluding chapter introduces natural logarithms and provides analytic expressions for the hyperbolic functions. The book is divided into three parts, each focusing on a distinct aspect of hyperbolic functions. The first part covers the development of hyperbolic functions, while the second part discusses configuration theorems and their applications to practical geometric problems. The final part explores the mathematical conditions for dissecting a polyhedron into a finite number of pieces and reassembling them into another given polyhedron. This book is ideal for those seeking a thorough introduction to hyperbolic functions and their geometric properties, as well as those interested in configuration theorems and their applications in projective geometry.
